Choosing familiar?

[RancorSnp]

So at the end of the last stream there was a magic fairly listed below all the players. Does it mean we can actually choose our familiar for the game?
If so who does decide on it, is it the host of the server?

That's Navi, also took part in magicka 1 where she would follow you around and rez you one time, singleplayer only I believe

 

[RancorSnp]

Yes she did res you one time in Single Player. And yes she is now here, will revive the last player who dies in a coop match, but I am not asking what this fairy is.
I am asking about the reason, why is she listed under the players, because it most likely means there will be other types of familiars.

Uh that would be interesting! Like in square tablet.
Eager to know the other familiar looks and abilities
